As the world's experts in measuring physiology anytime, anywhere, BIOPAC provides life science researchers with a full range of powerful and flexible hardware and software platforms, purposely designed to be the easiest path to obtaining great scientific data in lab, MRI, and real-world environments.

BIOPAC Research Solutions enable you to record, analyze, or report hundreds of life science signals.

To learn about a specific signal (ECG, EEG...) or measurement (HRV, RSA...), click below to search the Signals & Measurements index or to learn about the variety of data and analysis options related to an Application area, choose from the list below.

Integrated hardware, software, and curriculum systems allow students to record data from their own bodies, animal, or tissue preps to learn principles of life science physiology. Starter systems, core systems, and add-ons for life science physiology labs...

BSL Analysis downloads provide a “Review Saved Data (RSD)” version of the Biopac Student Lab software for students to install on their own computer outside of the lab. BSL Analysis software works without any data acquisition hardware connected and can be installed on multiple computers.

Students can use the free BSL Analysis software to
♦ Prepare for the lab – read the physiology introduction, review recording protocol, watch videos, see sample data
♦ Analyze the data – open data files and follow the analysis guide, complete the report in the online journal
♦ Share the results – send report and data to instructor or classmates

The Biopac Student Lab System is the total solution for a wide variety of scientific applications, including human, animal, organ and tissue studies. BSL Systems are available for general science—Basic, Advanced and Ultimate Systems—and core disciplines.

Gas Analysis Systems – CO2 and O2

The Gold Standard for Better Science and Greater Discovery

Obtain real-time Oxygen Consumption (VO2) and Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) measurements using a BIOPAC data acquisition system with the Gas Analysis module and some air flow accessories.

Measure expired O2 and CO2 concentrations.

When the subject inspires, air will be drawn into the GASSYS2 through the SS11LA/B air flow transducer, which is placed on the inspiration side to eliminate any effects associated with expired air humidity.

When the subject expires, air will be directed to the GASSYS2 module, which is designed to work with saturated expired air.

Compatibility

The non-rebreathing “T” valve directs only expired air to the GASSYS2. Because only expired air is directed to the module, the system acts to average respiratory outflows. This averaging effect causes the CO2 and O2 concentrations to vary in accordance to the mean values resident in a few expired breaths.

Options

Each chamber assembly includes the chamber casing and rod. The chambers work exactly the same way and are interchangeable on the module base. Use the 1.7 L chamber for small children/medium sized animals.

Ships with AFT7 smooth bore tubing, AFT11E flexible coupler, and AFT22 non-rebreathing T-valve. See AFT Series for other air flow and gas analysis accessories.

Chamber Options
Two chamber sizes are available for the GASSYS2. Each chamber assembly includes the chamber casing and rod. The chambers work exactly the same way and are interchangeable on the module base. Use the smaller chamber size for small children/medium sized animals.

5-liter chamber: included in the GASSYS2-RA; Order the chamber only as RX-GASA

1-liter chamber: included in the GASSYS2-RB ; Order the chamber only as RX-GASB

Dr. Richard Tunney’s research with BIOPAC Systems were profiled in a recent episode of “The Brain with David Eagleman” on PBS. Episode 4 of the series investigated decision-making and the physiological factors that effect it. Dr. Tunney’s research is shown in the fourth section of the episode where he runs an experiment called the “Iowa Gambling […]
